A very frustrated Chinese Supply Chain manager related how his company stocked out of a strategic product angering key customers because Operations was unaware of a large product promotion. A Supply Chain VP in a Shanghai company confided last week that her company does not perform forecasting. “The result”, she lamented, “is a lot of extra inventory, last minute changes, expediting, poor morale and angry customers”; in other words, a lot of extra cost. Many companies the world over suffer similar problems, and the result is waste, extra cost, lost customers and frustrated employees and management.
